MORROW novel It is about friendship-about a group of friends of various nationalities living where the Hungarian, Austrian, and Czechoslovak frontiers meet on the Danube, who are drawn close together by the onset of the late war and then scattered by It, and about their search for each other after the war. It describes in a way with whIch it is impossible to quarrel all the civilized virtues that bind men in amity and make life pos- sible, and It as acceptably defines the corresponding barbaric evils that work for enmity and make life unbearable. ; : Altogether, it seems beyond question .;.... . to be on the side of the angels. And yet there is an indefinable hint of some- thing wrong, the idiosyncratic some- thing that the Danube basin alone ap- pears to generate. In the case of Vien- nese and Hungarian wits, one takes it first for charm; then, as one begins to be , exasperated, for frivolity; and at last, when there is a real issue that requires clarity of mind and logical thought, as the sort of Incapacity that prevents % :=::'" butterflies from moving purposefully from place to place. Mr. Marnau re- marks, and with pride, that one of his characters dIed "fighting Europe's bat- tles" in the Ukraine. We are no doubt headed for a time when it will be pos- sible to say that Hitler was a premature anti-Communist, but a great deal more poppycock will have to flow under the bridge before it will be possible to say that he fought Europe's battles any- where On Bormann's orders, it has been recorded, a Dr. Henry Picker joined Hitler at mealtimes at his head- quarters from March to August of 1 942, to take down in shorthand the stream of fantasy-about what then seemed a promising future-that food apparently drew from the Führer. Picker recorded dreams about the des- tiny of Russia that had a certain pre- cision. Its great cities were to be destroyed and were to be replaced by fortified garrison towns inhabited by detachments of S.S. men and women charged with governing and repopulat- ing the country. The Russian people, rigorously isolated from all social con- tact with the S.S., were to be given free issues of contraceptIves but were to be denied education, medical care, and most of the food they produced. They were to rot and starve in disease and Ignorance until the Slav race per- ished from the earth. This is what any- one who fought in Hitler's armies in the Ukraine was really fighting for. I t is not an aim that can be recognized as European, unless one is to admit that Europe and its culture is something that "from this third novel, Thomas Hal Phillips emerges as a keener more compassionate observer of life than a whole cottonfield full of younger Southern novelists." -ROBERT LOWRY, N Y Times Book Review '. , \':{t THOM S HAL PHILLIPS "."
